In the story All Summer in a Day By Ray Bradbury, the ending left the reader at a cliffhanger. Based on Margot’s reactions and feelings toward the other students and the sun, I suspect that when Margot was let out of the closet she immediately went to the windows to check to see if the sun was still out, but was then disappointed that the sun was gone and she was also mad at the other students for what they had done.

Based on my conclusions and the text, it makes sense that
